Tamil star Jayam Ravi has recently been in the news for his separation from his wife Aarti. He has also been linked to singer Kenishaa Francis. As rumours of a torrid affair spread like wildfire on social media, the ‘ Ponniyin Selvan’ star finally addressed them. In an interview with India Today, Ravi denounced the rumours and requested the media not to drag Kenishaa’s name.
The ‘Thani Oruvan’ actor told India Today, "I would like to say one thing. Live and let live. Don't drag anyone's name into this personal matter. People are saying random things. Don’t indulge in such acts. Let your personal life be kept as a personal life. Kenishaa is a person who sang in 600 stage shows. She came up in life with her hard work. She is a healer who saved many lives. She is a licensed psychologist. Please don’t involve her in this.”
Ravi also divulged that he planned to collaborate with the singer and launch a healing centre and such rumours may derail these plans. "Kenishaa and I have plans of starting a healing centre in the future. That’s our goal. We want to help many people. Please don’t spoil it. Nobody can spoil it too. Don’t involve anyone unnecessarily," he shared..” he said.
On September 9, the actor shocked fans when he announced that he and Aarti would be parting ways after 15 years of marriage on X. "After much thought, reflections, and discussions, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of my marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made out of haste, and it stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved (sic),” read his statement.
Just two days after the actor announced his separation, his now estranged wife Aarti claimed that the move had not been a mutual decision and she had been kept in the dark for a long time. “I am deeply shocked and saddened by the recent public announcement regarding our marriage, which was made without my knowledge or consent. After 18 years of shared history, I believe that such a significant matter should be handled with the grace, respect, and privacy that it deserves,” she told the media.
Who Is Kenishaa Francis?
As per reports, Francis hails from Bengaluru. However, she is a sought-after name in Goa’s pub culture. Kenishaa's performances in the seaside city have earned her a dedicated fan base. She has been involved in numerous acting ventures, demonstrating her adaptability as an entertainer. Her emotionally rich music has connected with listeners far beyond the local pubs and eateries where she has played, solidifying her standing in the South Indian music scene. One of her notable achievements includes teaming up with Tamil actor Jiiva on a music album, marking her increasing visibility in the film industry.
A Time Line Of Their Rumoured Romance
Speculations of a tumultuous affair spread like wildfire on the Internet after Nakeeran magazine reported that Jayam Ravi had been romantically involved with Kenishaa. The two supposedly crossed paths during one of his trips to Goa, where the Siren star was reportedly mesmerized by the Goan singer’s voice and melodies.
The article also alluded to a speeding incident in which they were fined while driving in Jayam’s car. Curiously, it was Aarti, Jayam’s wife, who was notified about the fine, leading to conflicts between the couple. Adding to the intrigue, it was said that Jayam Ravi skipped celebrating his 14th wedding anniversary with Aarti in favor of buying a bungalow in Goa with Kenishaa, further fueling rumors of a growing relationship between the actor and the singer.
